We have found Spring to be the best time to visit Kruger. The park is not lush and green as in Summer and the migratory birds are only starting to return, but the animals are congregated around the waterholes. There is also a good chance of seeing predator/prey interactions.

It also is not unbearably hot (although it did get up to the low forties on some of the days we were there) and the bush is not overgrown, giving you good visibility.

This year we decided to cover as much of the park as we could (we did a total of 3100km in the park) and stayed in some of the camps we have not visited in over 5 years.

We got to see some unusual animal behaviour and saw some of the rarer animals. Spent an hour with Prings and SO at Letaba and unfortunately did not get to meet with Arks.

The overriding feature is one of dryness and both the flora and fauna wait expectantly for that first heavy downpour
